VGA extension cable? Well, the 37" LCD TV just has a VGA in port as
does the video card, and I am using a VGA cable between the two. It
works great with my XFX 6200 (fanless) with the same cabling. It ghosts
like crazy with the Leadtek A6200 (fanless).
Got an RMA from newegg with little questions asked. Newegg rocks.
